This Week’s Top Story

Just in time for Thanksgiving and holiday entertaining season, Room & Board (55 E. Ohio St., roomandboard.com) is giving hosts the ultimate flexibility in choosing the perfect dining table. Table bases are offered in 11 different styles and can be paired with 27 different top options—including round, oval, rectangular, and square, plus finishes like wood or quartz—so you can create a custom look for as little as $459.

Plus, many tops come with extension leaves that can turn a four-top to a 16-top in a flash, meaning you never have to relegate your fun nephews to a “kids table.”

At all three Chicago-area locations, design associates on staff can advise you on measuring your dining room, then help you pick out the ideal height, width, and depth for your statement piece. While you’re in the store, flesh out your flatware with candleholders, vases, runners, and everything else to bring a festive look to your fab new dining room.

Interior Intel

In a partnership that feels meant to be, The Rug Company (320 N. Clark St., therugcompany.com) has drawn on the color expertise of high-end paint brand Farrow & Ball for a collection of 12 handloom rugs that go seamlessly with the luxe Farrow & Ball palette. The two companies’ creative wizards chose combinations within the six Farrow & Ball neutral groups: Traditional, Yellow Based, Red Based, Contemporary, Easy, and Architectural Neutrals. In the resulting collection, you’ll find a splashy or muted anchor rug to go with pretty much any aesthetic.
